Yahweh Will Deliver Israel

¹ In that day ^(C1)Yahweh will ^(F1)punish ^(F2)(C2)Leviathan the fleeing serpent,
With His fierce and great and ^(F3)mighty sword,
Even ^(F2)Leviathan the twisted serpent;
And ^(C3)He will kill the dragon who lives in the sea.

² In that day,
"A ^(F1)(C1)vineyard of delight, sing of it!

³ "I, Yahweh, am its keeper;
^(C1)I water it every moment.
Lest anyone ^(F1)damage it,
I ^(C2)keep it night and day.

⁴ "I have no wrath.
Who would ever give Me ^(C1)briars and thorns in the battle?
I would step on them, ^(C2)I would burn them ^(F1)completely.

⁵ "Or let him ^(F1)(C1)rely on My strong defense,
Let him make peace with Me,
Let him ^(C2)make peace with Me."

^6 (F1)In the days to come Jacob ^(C1)will take root,
Israel will ^(C2)blossom and bud,
And they will fill the ^(F2)whole world with ^(C3)produce.

⁷ Like the striking of Him who has struck them, has ^(C1)He struck them?
Or like the slaughter of those of His who were killed, ^(F1)have they been killed?

⁸ You contended with them ^(F1)by driving them away, by ^(C1)making them forlorn.
With His fierce wind He has expelled them on the day of the ^(C2)east wind.

⁹ Therefore through this, Jacob's iniquity will be ^(C1)atoned for;
And this will be the whole fruit of the ^(C2)turning away of his sin:
When he makes all the ^(C3)altar stones like pulverized chalk stones,
When ^(F1)Asherim and incense altars will not stand.

¹⁰ For the fortified city is ^(C1)isolated,
A ^(F1)haunt ^(F2)forlorn and forsaken like the desert;
^(C2)There the calf will graze,
And there it will lie down and ^(F3)feed on its twigs.

¹¹ When its ^(C1)limbs are dry, they are broken off;
Women come and light a fire with them,
For they are not a people of ^(C2)discernment,
Therefore ^(C3)their Maker ^(C4)will not have compassion on them.
And their Creator will not be gracious to them.

¹² And it will be in that day, that Yahweh ^(C1)will start His threshing from the flowing stream of the ^(F1)(C2)River to the brook of Egypt, and you will be ^(C3)gathered up one by one, O sons of Israel.¹³ And it will be in that day, that a great ^(C1)trumpet will be blown, and those who were perishing in the land of ^(C2)Assyria and who were banished in the land of Egypt will come and ^(C3)worship Yahweh in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.
